A Beautiful Moment

by ObtainingMercy, posted in A Door of Hope, Blessings, How Great is Our God, Just My Thoughts, KJV Graphics, What's Happening

I watched the Opening of the American Embassy in Jerusalem today. It was a truly touching ceremony for anyone who knows the Word of God.

Israel is the apple of God’s eye, and Jerusalem is the city He chose to put His name on:

“…that David my servant may have a light alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there.” ~I Kings 11:36

So it was truly touching to watch our Nation and our President honor that city by finally placing our embassy in the capital there.  We, as a Nation, had promised to move the embassy there many years ago. But not until President Trump has there been a president courageous enough to keep that promise.

God promises to seek the good of those who pray for the peace of Jerusalem:

“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.
Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.” ~Psalm 122:6-9

It could be that the Lord will pour out His mercy on our country, give us a bit more time to repent and turn back to Him, because of this move by our Nation to honor Jerusalem.

It is a remarkable day in the history of our Nation and our world. I don’t know about you but I’m keeping my eye on Jerusalem even more than I usually do. All of prophesy hinges on that city. It will be exciting to see those things come to pass in our lifetime.

Do you know the God of Jerusalem? Is He your Saviour? I would certainly be thrilled to share with you how He can be. Just drop me a message if you’d like to know Him today.

Fighting the Gale

He is not the safest sailor who never saw a tempest;

he will do for fair-weather service, but when the storm is rising,

place at the important post the man who has fought out a gale,

who has tested the ship,

who knows her hulk sound,

her rigging strong,

and her anchor-flukes able to grasp and hold by the ribs of the world.

~excerpt Streams in the Desert

My friend, if you are sailing through a storm, be assured that your Saviour is strong, His grip is sure and He will sail with you through this tempest to bring you safely to the other shore.

In Him,

I pray that you have a Happy May!

The Hardest Thing to Do

by ObtainingMercy, posted in A Door of Hope, How Great is Our God, Just My Thoughts, KJV Graphics, Thoughtful Thursday, Uncategorized

There are times in life when God calls on us to do the hardest thing possible.

And often, that hardest thing is…nothing.

Just wait.

Stand still. Be ready. Have your armor on. Grasp your Sword in readiness.

And do nothing.

Just wait.

See what God will show you.

And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. ~Exodus 14:13

It’s hard to do. We want to grasp the problem by its horns and wrestle it to the ground.

But often, God says, “Wait. I will do the work for you. I will get the glory. Your strength cannot do this work. Only Mine.”

I encourage you, today, friend.  Be ready to do whatever God asks of you…gird your loins, put on your breastplate, have the Sword ready. But if God says “Wait,” then do that to the best of your ability.

In times of uncertainty, wait. Always, if you have any doubt, wait. Do not force yourself to any action. If you have a restraint in your spirit, wait until all is clear, and do not go against it. ~excerpt Streams in the Desert

Praying you will see a mighty victory as you stand still and see what God will do today.

In Him,

Just Thinking About Jesus

by ObtainingMercy, posted in A Door of Hope, Holiday, How Great is Our God, Just My Thoughts, KJV Graphics

I want to encourage us this week to not be negligent in meditating on the truths of Resurrection Sunday.

He is not here:  for he is risen, as he said.   Come, see the place where the Lord lay. Matthew 28:6

We should spend time thinking about the week that Jesus had prior to Calvary, the things He said, the people He spent time with, the false accusations and betrayals He went through.

Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me…For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.” Matthew 26:10,12

…Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. Matthew 26:21

It is so important to teach our children about Jesus this week. Not just a few sentences while we’re dying Easter eggs, but all week long, we would be wise to prepare them to truly celebrate on Sunday, by explaining what the whole week looked like from Jesus’ perspective.

O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me:  nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. Matthew 26:39

We must allow yourself to be moved to tears over what the Lord Jesus did to purchase our salvation.

And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him…And they spit upon him, and took the reed and smote him on the head. Matthew 27: 28-30

We should be mindful this week of Christ’s sacrifice and pardon, of His horrible death, and His ultimate victory over death, Hell and the grave!

It should fill us with shame that He had to pay for our sins, but then that shame should quickly be replaced with a deep and reverent gratitude, a spirit of awe and worship of our great Saviour.

I encourage you to not “neglect so great salvation” but spend the week remembering and praising Him for His great love for us.

In Him,
